Mr.. MCMILLAN is one of the best known
chicken and dog ~fanciers in the South. His
coops and kennels are filed with the fines
specimens of game chickens and well-bred
sporting dogs.
For many years of his life he had a serious
misfortune, which he explains in the follow.

lucky sporting mans real Mascot:
You will pardon me for addressing you on

with rheumatism. 1 had, about Saturated

it. Ny left leg was the worst affected. Even
is a little smaller than the right, shriveled
from rheumatism. For five years l may say
that I was in danger of starvation from ina
bility to work at my trade on account of this
terrible disease. When ! came to Corinth
from Alabama / was on crutches for two
years. Of course during all of these sad years
I was attended by good physicians. They
gave me powerful doses of potash and sarsa-
parilla, which did relieve me some for awhile,

Every lady will be interested in the June
number of DEMoREsT's MONTHLY, as it is an
exceedingly interesting one. The steel plate,
'The Fate of Nydia," is novel and very beau
tiful, both in execution and design, and the
other illustrations are also very fine. The
Fashion Department of this excellent publi-
cation is SO well edited as to lead many to
suppose that it is a Fashion Magazine, but
this is a great mistake; for in realty it is a
Literary Magazine of the highest order, with
all its departments SO ably conducted that
every member of the family watches with in
terest for its arrival. We know of no maya
zine better deserving to be called q Family
Magazine, and it ought to be ound in every
refined household. That the publisher is a
Prohibitionist, tells where it stands on the
Temperance question. Published by W. Jen-

The Dirt Ansateur for June begins the sew
e~nteenth volume with a new cover and a pro-
fusion of attractive illustrations and vigorous
letter press. Three figure and draperie stud
les in two c%olors, a striking full-page portrait
and a number of pen drawings after pictures
and sculpture accompany an interesting bio
graphical account of Sir Frederick Leighton,
President Of the British Royal Academy.
There is a capital notice of the Paris Salon,
with an admirable two-page drawing of Ridg-
way Knights picture, "In October" together
with reviews of the American Artists and
Prize Fund Exhibitions and the new Seney
Collection, n Boston letter on New England
art progress, an amusing French account of
the Morgan sale, and a timely article on COM
posite photographs. "Montezuma" in "My

of frauds and tricks in the picture trade, even
among the most reputable dealers. The prac-
tical articles include a suggestive "talk' with
John La Fargo on the re-decoration of the
American Injecting house," useful hints on
landscape painting, a lesson in china painting
fish sets and game sets J, and directions for
an altar hanging with working designs. There
were also designs for a large panel (azaleas),
a sugar bowl (anemones) a lamp shade and a
newspaper rack, a page of monograms in o,
and a fine study of pansies. The minor de-
partments are lavishly filled and in every re-
spect the number fully maintains the high

RAILROAD
The adjourned meeting of the 18th of
May to the 2sth, in the interest of the
Dayton, Eaton and Liberty railway con
struction, assembledat the Opera House
on Saturday afternoon last for the pur-
pose of hearing a report from the can
wasting committee. The meeting was
called to order by President Rob't w.
Quinn, and John Alexander appointed
Secretary, when the committees through
their Chairman, Capt. w. II. Tough,
reported that about z 100000 had been
subscribed, part donated and part as
stock, but was satisfied that if the time
was extended considerable more could
be secured. The amount subscribed as
stock, of course cannot be appropriated
otherwise without the consent of the
parties subscribing. Col. Pride then
stated that the road was located and
gave the route adopted. He intimated
strongly that if the right of way could
be clearly secured over the route the
road would undoubtedly be built-and
if not it would not. A proposition was
then made, which was agreed to, that
the time of the canvassing committee
be extended until Thursday, June 9th,
for the purpose of securing the right of
way. Four additional committeeman
were then added, rs follows: Morris
Stack, of Dixon; John Rhea, John Ri
singer and Marks Nation, of Washing
ton. Before the meeting adjourned the
following resolution was offered and
adopted:
Resolred, "That. said committee be %contin-
ued for further canvass, and that they pro-
coed without delay to take further subscrip-
tons and obtain donations of right of way
from Banta's Fork road to the State line, and
report at a meeting at the Opera House on
Thursday evening, June 9th, whether the
right of way can be procured and pledged the
company"
If the proposition to obtain the rightof
way will secure the enterprise con-
templated, it is the best and cheapest
terms ever offered to Eaton for a rail-
way, and if we fail in securing it we
may as well conclude to spend no more
time in efforts to get another road. Now
let us all give a ''long pull and a strong
to lift our town on the road to
certain growth and prosperity. The
building of the road will be of ~incalcu-
liable benefit to Eaton and the farming |
community surrounding, and don't let
it be said it was our fault that it was
not secured. Dixon township commit
tee promises to secure the right of way |
through their territory, and there is no
doubt will do it. Let Eaton to Banta's
Fork road do the same.
The road is located through lands in
Preble county as follows: Saml Wolfe,
Abner Dunlap, Mrs. Miller, John c..
Brooke, Lewis Marker, J.. v. Camp
bell, A. Weikel, N. B. Stephens, Mrs.
to McCabe street, Eaton, |

CALIFORNIA RAIslNS.
Danger of OvercrOWding the
Philadelphia Market.

NEW York, January 1.-THE Com
merc,al Bulletin says that California raj
sins have developed an easier tenden cy,
due wholly to the actions of Western
operators, particularly in Chicago. In
that city some holders endeavored to
work off some of their surplus stock,
and to assist them in this they selected
Philadelphia as the market to bring
their goods to tho attention of Eastern
buyers. The supplies forwarded are of
very good quality, though probably not
up to the standard of the principal
packs that have been sold here since the
opening of the season. They are fresh
goods, and with the average buyer would
be taken without hesitation. These are
offered in Philadelphia at $l.40 for 2
Crown, loose; $l.55 for 8 Crown, and
81 .S5 for London. The more popular
brands of this market are held and are
selling at 81. 40 to $l.S0@90, and $l.70@
So, respectively. If Chicago holders
continue to push these goods at former
quotations it is doubtful if our city com.
mission men can maintain the market,
and the result will be loss to California
shippers.

DAMAGE TO FRUIT GROWERS.
Bogus Lottery Tickets Sold in San

.special to the Herald bp the Associdted Pressl
SAN Francisco, January 1.-THE
order by Gen. Hazen cutting off special
weather reports from Los Angeles has
occasioned general feeling of dissatis-
faction among the fruit raisers of that
Section and among others having large
interests centering there. The special
weather reports telegraphed to Los An
geles have kept fruit growers acquainted
with the condition of the weather at
various points, information of evident
value being.thus given. Sacramento is
included in the order from Washington.
The cost of bulletins per diem is said to
have been only about one dollar for each
place. Without proper warning
of approaching storms great val.
ues in fruits which are curing
NAV be lost. A. Lusk recalls the
fact that during storm two years ago,
of the approach of which no warning
was given, many thousands of dollars
worth of fruit was lost. The statement
is made by o representative of the firm
Of William T. Coleman Il Co., that rather
than have the special bulletins discon-
tinuei that firm would undertake to De.
fray the cost. The following was fur.
nished as an estimate of the value of the
various crops to be benefited by the
special weather reports which are or.
dered to be discontinued: Raisins, $780,
600; grapes not converted into raisins,
5000, 900; oranges. 81 900, 900; fresh fruit,
peaches, apricots, etc, $500, 900; total.
81, 700, 900. The same gentleman said
laat year when it was proposed to dis
continue this service, this firm an
nounced that in that event it would un-
dertake to defray the cost of it itself.
You can, if you like. say the same of us
now. The expense would be about $3.50
a day, as we have not the advantage OF
. special contract with the telegraph
companies, as the government has. Last
year the official service saved us about
100000. This fact furnished alone
strong criterion of the importance Of the
service to this coast.
